The Journey Called YOU: A roadmap to self-discovery and acceptance Paperback – April 12, 2005

This book proved to be well worth the money. Rather than the usual "self esteem" spin, it is an honest, insightful work that inspired me to re-read it again and again, learning a bit more each time. The end of chapter questions are helpful and thought provoking. I found it, overall, to be a very useful tool in breaking some attrocious habits I've carried most of my adult life and taking charge of my life's direction.

Like many of us, I have read many, many self-help books over the years. My bookshelves are lined with them. But, this book is truly different. As a Life Coach, Julie walks you through page by page how to truly know yourself, recognize your triggers and to teach people how you want to be treated. This book dares you to put the highest value on yourself. Because, if you are not at your best, you cannot give your best. Julie shows how the past is a learning tool and our experiences have molded us into who we are today. She challenges us to take those experiences, good or bad, and realize you are who you are because of them. By knowing yourself better, you in turn are better equipped to manage situations, care for the people you love and put yourself in a place of love and respect in your own mind. This book will show you how to forge new roads and to stop going around the same mountain year after year, making the same mistakes. Julie takes you through this journey step by step in a funny and kind manner to bring you to a place of wholeness, so you can finally love and enjoy life!It's never too late to get started - you won't regret it!

Well known author Maya Angelou once said, "when you know better you do better." After reading The Journey Called You, I am certainly doing alot of things much better. If you're searching for the key to living with more passion and finally defining meaningful career & personal goals then this is the book for you. Most self-help books make unrealistic promises. However, The Journey Called You delivers by offering practical advise that can be implemented immediately. Highly recommended for those serious about taking their self awareness to the next level.

Eloquently written and easy-to-read, this book is designed to help you understand and accept yourself so you can make decisions every day that move you closer to the happy and fulfilled life you desire. You will learn how to use your personal power to free yourself to be you. After all, the author points out, you are the most important person in your life! Without you, what do you have?

The writing style is clear and concise with Julie's real life story weaved throughout the text. Journaling is also part of the process and this is used throughout the book.The insight that this book brought to the table for me is so valuable that it has helped me recreate myself and enhanced my relationships with everyone around me.Thanks so much.
